Sean O’Leary, Sales Director, Northern Europe, Jetcraft
Location: London UK
How long have you been at Jetcraft?
I’ve been with the company for eight years. I spent my first three years as a Sales Engineer working in Dublin. After that, I relocated to London where I assumed the position of sales director as we set up our London HQ.
Explain your role within Jetcraft’s global network?
In the global Jetcraft team, I look after our sales initiatives here in London and Northern Europe.
Describe a typical day or week in your role.
Luckily for me, there’s no typical day or week. Usually, my day starts with coffee and then moves on to dealing with all of our current and active deals. That’s the priority. From then on, I move forward to proactive business and usually, this is done in the office or on the road.

This software helped improve aerodynamic structure and simplified the airplane’s systems.

To our Clients, Partners and Friends,
Last year, we celebrated our 60th anniversary – something we’ll always look back on with pride.
In 1962, our founder Charles “Bucky” Oliver acquired Raleigh Durham Aviation which later began trading as the Jetcraft you know. Since then, Jetcraft has grown extraordinarily, from a predominantly US-based organization to an expanding global corporation. Today, we operate more than 20 offices worldwide with a team of over 70 aviation experts across five continents, and have no intention of stopping there.
Jetcraft has become carbon-neutral through an ambitious partnership with carbon offsetting and compliance solutions experts, Azzera.
Working with Azzera, Jetcraft has removed 3,596 verified tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere, matching 100% of its own emissions, while investing in a variety of projects that deliver positive, environmental, developmental and social change around the globe. In 2022, the company supported forest conservation projects in North Carolina and Papua New Guinea and wind power supplies in South Africa.
Product Overview
The Gulfstream G600 is a sister aircraft to the G500, a smaller aircraft that was unveiled as a pair with the Gulfstream G600. Along with the Gulfstream G650ER, Gulfstream G650 and the Gulfstream G500, the G600 shares a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.925. A low cabin altitude at the aircraft’s maximum altitude of 51,000 feet and 100 percent fresh air replenished every two minutes reduce the effects of jet lag. The G600 comes equipped with Gulfstream’s Enhanced Vision System, the Intelligence-by-Wire flight system provides highly calibrated flight controls, and auto throttles and autobrakes ensure peak engine performance and smoother, safer landings.
As of November 2022, 3% of the Gulfstream G600 aircraft were purchased pre-owned by their current owners, the other 97% new. 2.2% are for sale with half of those (50%) under an exclusive broker agreement. When for sale the average time on the market is 240 days.
Brief History
The Gulfstream G600 was first announced in October 2014 in Savannah, GA, US and it first flew in December 2016. In 2019 FAA certification was received and the first Gulfstream G600 was delivered in August 2019. The model is still being produced presently.
